Stella works miracles. Literally. She heals the sick and the paralysed. The Vatican is overjoyed—imagine, a real saint in the 21st century, and in Georgia, the heart of the American South.

The only hitch? Her method: she heals the people she sleeps with in her motorhome. And she sleeps with a lot of people–it’s what she does for a living. And that’s precisely what’s bothering the Vatican. A saintly prostitute isn’t exactly presentable. A martyred saint, on the other hand, with a conveniently rewritten past. That’s a job tailor-made for the Bronski twins—the best contract killers in the business.
